• Network Manager

  • Aug 2013 - Sep 2019

  As Network Manager, I was responsible for installing and maintaining the School's computer networks, Line managing the Schools ICT Support Staff. Carring out annual performance reviews for team members and negotiate specific personal development goals. Advising the SLT on any specific training needs. I Pride myself on user satisfaction and making sure everyone is happy with our service. I managed ICT Budgets and looked to achieve best value for the Schools ICT expenditure, Support the school in ordering, stocking and replenishing ICT consumables and ensure that legal and contractual obligations relating to ICT resources, software licensing, systems and services are met. If there are problems with the system, it’ll be down to myself to have a recovery plan to minimise any disruption to the School. Schools are becoming increasingly reliant on technology, this makes my role particularly vital to the smooth running of the School. As well as existing systems, I help develop new systems to assist with the continued growth of the School. I attend meetings to discuss the IT needs of the School, from an operational or service related viewpoint. To establish the best plans and ideas that suit both the teaching and learning and ICT Infrastructure. I also managed the integration of a brand new Primary School into the current Secondary School and supported this School in the same way i supported the secondary School . I had to oversee many large technical changes at BCCS and CPS over the years I was network manager at the Schools. My Role moved more and more towards strategic planning and away from the day to day running of the School due to the Primary School implantation and the emergence of a new MAT The School were keen that i am involved in managing the ICT for the MAT when created.
